Uponor. Radiant floor heating is the latest home system to get a high-tech control with Uponor's Climate Cŏntrol – Multifunction. The hydronic controller offers a streamlined, less time-intensive approach to installing controls for radiant heating and cooling systems, according to the manufacturer. Instead of creating specific individual controls for domestic hot water, mixing, snowmelt, boiler staging, and zone pumping,the programmable control can handle each of the functions. A separate network controller, set to hit the market in July, also will give homeowners access to thermostats and will allow them to access the control from the Web.
